Childhood Love

Chapter 11

Kazuya POV

"Hello. Doctor? Yes, it's Kazuya. Are you disposable now?"

'Of course. Is something wrong?'

"I'm coming right now." I said without giving him further explanation.

Hearing the cheering of the students, I crossed the school yard. I called a taxi and went to the hospital. There, I went to the doctor's office.

"Kazuya!!" he said when I opened the door.

"...I...my heart..." I said out of breath.

"Please prepare a room. Quick!!" shouted the doctor at a nurse.

I was gripping my shirt as my heart was hurting, my head was spinning and I soon passed out. "Kazuya! Kazuya! Hang on! Do you hear me?" I heard the doctor said before everything became dark.

(Dreaming)

"Yeah, let's start the party!!" shouted Boby. "Hey, Kazuya!! Over there!" he cried out and threw a packet to me. "It's a present."

"Thanks. Here's yours."

"You too?! Thanks!!"

"Do you imagine? We are finally going to college."

"Yeah. We won't see each other like before."

"Yeah." he signed.

"We could still get in touch." I said and his face lightened.

"Oh that's true!!" he shouted out. "Well, let's not speak on this matter anymore. Let's enjoy the night." he said lifting his glass I'm the air. "It's alcohol free, so don't worry. We still don't have the age to drink." he said.

We had been enjoying ourselves that we didn't see the time passed. My mobile phone rang and I picked it up. "Yes?"

'Kazuya!' said my mother her voice trembling.

"What is happening? Wait! What? I don't understand. Speak slower." I said.

'Your grandmother.' she said, her voice still trembling. 'She had a heart attack and I... she won't make it.'

This phrase rang in my head.'She won't make it.' My grandmother was everything for me. When my parents were at work, she took care of me. She was like my second mother.I quickly ran out of the restaurant and rushed to the hospital which was not too far. Tears began to fall and my vision became blurry when suddenly *BANG* I flew in the air and landed hard on the ground. I saw people running towards me and then nothing. Everything was pitch dark.

(End of dream)

"...ya. Kazuya." I heard a familiar voice calling me. It was Kira. "Thank god, you finally woke up." she said hugging me.

"What...happened?" I asked.

"You don't remember?" said the doctor who had just entered. "You passed out when you arrived here."

My head was still hurting a little."...Ah! I remember now. For how long had I been unconscious?"

"It's been for five hours now." said the doctor. "I will call your school..."    

"No! Don't! " I cut him off. "Don't."

"But what if it happens again? At least, there will be someone at school who will take care of you." he reasoned me.

"Fine. But only to the school doctor and the Principal. Only those two."

"Why not telling everyone?" asked Rika. "You will be more taken care of and..."

"That's what I don't want." I said. "All they will do is worry about me all day long. I don't want this. It's because of this that I didn't want any friends." The room was in total silence after I had said these words.

"...I " started Rika breaking this unbearable silence."Fine. I understand. Now take a good rest. I'll come to take you home later." She went out, leaving the doctor and me alone.
